Prosperous little towns dotted the valley floor; and the many smooth, dusty, much-used roads all led to Ruxton, a wealthy and fine city. Anderson, the rancher, had driven his car to Spokane.

Colonel Edward Pakenham burned his instep by falling asleep before the fire, out of which a turf fell on his foot, and so he was, luckily for us, detained a few days longer and dined and breakfasted at Coolure. To MRS. RUXTON. EDGEWORTHSTOWN, Sept. 1807.
